For any PCed bullets I just used a mold that normally works well in a particular gun/caliber. For my 9mm PCed bullets I use a Lee 125 gr RNFP (and in my 38 Specials and 357 Magnum). The bullet works quite well nekkid or PCed...

Go with the 6 cavity LE mdi said. I shoot 200 to 300 each time with my CZ TS.

Hold on to your hat, it's going to be a wild ride.

There is a TON of good molds for 9mm. I've used:
Lee 358-125 RF
Lee 356-120 TC .....a LOT. I have two molds so I can cast faster and make these in batches the size of a coffee can. Has done well in an HK and a G34
Arsenal Molds 358-125 PC Just got this and it does really well out of my Canik
MP 359-147 FP This does REALLY well out of my AR9 in terms of accuracy, but does have occasional feeding issues. AR9s have no feed ramp.
MP 147g 9mm Competition Round Nose. Just got it to help with feeding, but it shows promise.

Just stay away from the Lee 124g tumble lube bullet. A lot of threads on that one.

I'd start with the 356-120. PM me and I'll send you some to try if you want. I have some that are cast from approx 94/4/2 and are "raw", or I can send you some that have already been coated and sized to .357. Those the alloy isn't quite as rich, but more like 95/3/2.

If you do get the Lee mold, get the six cavity. You'll need it.

I have been using the Lee 356-120-TC. I started with the 2 cavity and quickly bought the six. I pc my bullets and shoot them through my TP9SFX.

I use the lee 358-125-RF powder coated and sized .357 in my M&P 9. It shoots great, but I had to send it to DougGuy to have it throated so that the .357 would chamber.
Also had it crowned. It shoots great.

If you like Lee molds, the 356-120-TC is pretty versatile.

Another vote here for the LEE 356-120-TC mold.

Wow so many votes for the 120-TC. I got it recently and to tell you the truth I prefer my old 356-125-2R or even 358-125-RF over that 120-TC but thats just me. TC drops small around .355 ( I know I will fix that one day when I have more time) plus my TP9 SFX doesnt care for that bullet profile and since thats one of my high volume shooters I'm sticking with 125-2R which runs in everything.

As you can see, no "special" mold for PCing is needed, just one that works well or you...

Any mold will work, grooves or smooth. It will just depend on what bullet weight & profile. I wanted a 147gr/9 RN with a cutting shoulder. Saeco has the exact mold & it works great powder coated.
